Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Lavardin is a very pretty little town, where medieval, Renaissance and troglodyte styles mix. The Saint-Genest church is particularly beautiful, with its colorful paintings. Concerts take place there in summer. Just opposite you will find a café-bakery, carved into the stone, which serves delicious ice cream. You won't be able to miss the remains of the castle and its 26 meter high tower. Note that it is possible to pitch your tent on the banks of the Loir, at the bottom of the village. The spot is very pleasant.

A flowery village located at the foot of the magnificent ruins of its castle. If you like to stroll, take photos, if you like the Middle Ages, Lavardin is an obligatory stop during your stay in the Pays Vendôme.

The Château de Montoire is a ruined castle. You can run around the remains of the 11th century fortress, which was once a strategic site during the wars between the kings of France and England. From the top of the hill, you can also admire the view of the Loir and the town of Montoire-sur-le-Loir. The castle is open to the public and is classified as a historic monument. Happy racing everyone!
